Cancer: You’re too comfortable with settling.

Aquarius: Someone who’s not easily deterred.

Gemini: You ask really unique questions.

These are incredible. (And hilarious.)

Virgo: Accept that perfection is impossible.

Taurus: Patiently.

I can be a different version of myself in front of different people, and it doesn’t make me any less authentic.

Capricorn: Steady.

Pisces: Put yourself first for once.

“I’m quitting my job to pursue my anxiety full-time.”

The people who got out of these dark times before you weren’t better than you, or stronger than you, or less burdened than you. They felt weak and sad and like they were barely hanging on – just like you. BUT, they kept going.

Aries: Uninhibited.

Aries: Learn to appreciate stillness sometimes.

“Wasting an entire damn year in a ‘talking’ situation with a bro who would string me along without ever wanting to commit, because he wanted to keep his options open and I was too smitten to walk away.”

Settle for the kind of love that is rare in its everyday sense of happiness and contentment, the kind of love that grows out of little, tiny moments of affection and thoughtfulness and tenderness and warmth.

Sagittarius: You can be self-involved.

To stop thinking and talking about all the ways you’re going to explore your creativity ‘someday,’ and to start doing that stuff right now instead.

Libra: Impossible to be mad at.
